Tallgrass Custom Wood Products is one of the few sawmills producing lumber from Osage-orange (also called "hedge") and black locust trees. Osage-orange is the hardest and longest lasting wood of any native tree in North America. Similarly, black locust is extremely durable and naturally resistant to insect damage and rot. Both species are uniquely suited for organic garden structures such as compost bins and raised-beds. Other outdoor uses include planters, decking, backyard furniture, fencing, children's play sets, and landscape timbers. This lumber is a safe and sustainable alternative to synthetic products and the environmental contaminants associated with treated lumber, such as arsenic.
